Hi guys,

Right now i'm using a 23" cinema display with my PC, and in order to see things a bit better I've increased the DPI setting in Control Panel>Display>Advanced options.

Is there a way to increase general DPI and Font Size settings in OS X (I think my current laptop is using Tiger) like in Windows XP? I need to know this before I commit to using a Mac as my primary machine (for work purposes), and no one around the office seems to know.

I found this thread:

Which talks about using the command key and +/- for each window, but is there a general setting as well? I'm looking for an option that will increase dpi and/or font settings throughout the OS.
